Handcrafted Olive Wood Chess Set
£138.00
Bring natural artistry and strategic elegance to your home with a stunning chess set crafted from sustainably sourced olive wood by Tunisian artisans. The Handcrafted Olive Wood Chess Set by Some Solace features live-edge wavy board showcasing olive wood's warm golden tones and flowing grain patterns, supported by rustic hand-carved legs, complete with 32 individually shaped chess pieces perfect for game rooms, living rooms, or any space seeking functional art with Mediterranean craftsmanship. Each board displays unique character—swirls, knots, and grain variations—made from retired olive trees that no longer bear fruit, giving every set its own story and natural beauty.
The olive wood material delivers exceptional natural beauty—where each board's wavy edges catch light to reveal warm golden hues and grain patterns spreading like soft waves, creating organic sculptural presence that transforms functional game board into decorative centerpiece worthy of display even when not in use. The rustic hand-carved legs add sturdy artisan character while elevating the board for comfortable play and visual prominence. The complete set includes 32 chess pieces individually shaped with care, from knights with smooth refined edges to pawns with satisfying solid heft, each displaying olive wood's distinctive coloring and grain. The sustainable sourcing from non-producing olive trees ensures eco-friendly production while the Tunisian handcraft tradition delivers authentic Mediterranean artistry with generations of woodworking expertise. The durable olive wood construction maintains beauty over time with simple care—wipe with warm water and mild soap, occasionally rubbing with olive oil to restore natural luster and protect the finish. Whether hosting strategic matches with friends and family, displaying as conversation-starting coffee table art, or gifting discerning recipients with meaningful handcrafted treasures, this olive wood chess set delivers the perfect balance of functional gameplay, natural artistry, and sustainable craftsmanship.
